Women resorted to such desperate measures back then. <br /><br />I was rather surprised the California government took such a big step regarding birth control, but I am glad they did. I imagine there will be some push back from more conservative corners, but I hope the law stands.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-51542249994741974862016-04-22T13:23:31.105-07:002016-04-22T13:23:31.105-07:00Iliana - I had to keep reminding myself I was read...Iliana - I had to keep reminding myself I was reading a novel and not nonfiction.

The story goes she was to marry a man who turned out to be a French railroad robber, and once he got thrown in jail she was unable to wed him, therefore not wanting the child. It&#39;s an odd story, but seeing that menacing button hook made me think of it.<br />I think it&#39;s great that birth control is available without a prescription in California- that will be helpful to those who can&#39;t get into to a doctor, but need the meds. Birth control pills are commonly used for PCOS, which can be very painful if left untreated.<br />~Litha NelleLitha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-90053972989033721432016-04-16T09:48:22.403-07:002016-04-16T09:48:22.403-07:00This sounds fascinating!
